Talk:Telchinis

RFM discussion: April 2022–October 2023
Both entries are for nouns referring to groups of people that are predominantly or exclusively attested in the plural. The cited dictionaries lemmatize them at the nominative plural forms, and I think we should also. The forms ending in "is" are in any case not the right headwords, as these would only be genitive singular (Latin-syle); the nominative singular forms are Greek-type Telchis/Telchin and Hyas respectively, so those would be the right headwords if we decide it's preferable to lemmatize them at the nominative singular.--Urszag (talk) 02:06, 18 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Since nobody objected, I moved Telchines, but since there is a preexisting page at Hyades, there will need to be a merge for that one. I'm not familiar with how to do that correctly.--Urszag (talk) 16:50, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
 * @Urszag The history of Hyadis indicates that it was created by Theeddiebear888 a few hours after this discussion was opened. I guess it was deleted and recreated? In any case it has only a Latin section, and Hyades has only English and French sections, so it doesn't make sense to merge them. &mdash; excarnateSojourner (talk &middot; contrib) 21:12, 25 February 2023 (UTC)
 * @ExcarnateSojourner I don't understand, why do the languages that exist on each page affect whether a merge makes sense? My understanding was that when a page is at the wrong title, it should be moved to the correct one or merged if a page with the correct title already exists to preserve its edit history.--Urszag (talk) 21:18, 25 February 2023 (UTC)
 * @Urszag Oh, sorry, I misunderstood. I thought you were talking about merging content from one language section into another language section. But you're right, moving an entire language section from one entry to another may make sense. &mdash; excarnateSojourner (talk &middot; contrib) 21:25, 25 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Since nobody presented arguments against lemmatizing at the plural, and the singular form is incorrect, I have merged Hyadis into Hyades by copy-paste with a note in the edit summaries to provide proper attribution. From what I can gather, a history merge is actually not needed in these circumstances. I will archive this discussion to Talk:Telchinis shortly.--Urszag (talk) 01:14, 6 October 2023 (UTC)
